ScotlandsFest: The History of Art in 100 Limericks - Angus Reid

All you’ll ever need to know about art served up in hilarious, bite-sized and rhyming mouthfuls, dripping with the venom of a Marxist / feminist / queer point of view.

ScotlandsFest: The History of Art in 100 Limericks - Angus Reid

About ScotlandsFest: The History of Art in 100 Limericks - Angus Reid

There’s a room in the Tate where the goths go

And solitary men of the cloth know

That there they can tune

Into black on maroon

And swoon in the gloom of a Rothko.

All you’ll ever need to know about art served up in hilarious, bite-sized and rhyming mouthfuls, dripping with the venom of a Marxist / feminist / queer point of view. From the first cave paintings to Tracey Emin, via little-known women and eminent homosexuals, this show comes with a warning: Art may contain nudity!
